The geometry of test specimens and friction can significantly influence the results of compressive stress tests. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] Friction at the contact points between the testing machine and the specimen can restrict the lateral expansion at its ends (also known as 'barreling') leading to non-uniform stress distribution.
The container compression test measures the compressive strength of packages such as boxes, drums, and cans. It usually provides a plot of deformation vs compressive force . It is commonly used to evaluate shipping containers made of corrugated fiberboard as well as wooden boxes and crates .
Compression set B is (like Compression set A) defined as the percentage of specimen deflection after it has been left in normal (uncompressed) conditions for 30 minutes. C B , the compression set B is given by C B = [(t o - t i ) / (t o - t n )] * 100 where t o is the original specimen thickness, t i is the specimen thickness after testing and ...
The advantages of the Watts-Ford test are that it is convenient for testing thin sheets or strips, it is similar to a rolling process (in manufacturing analyses), frictional effects may be minimized, there is no 'barrelling' as would occur in a cylindrical compression test, and the plane strain deformation eases the analysis.

The edge crush test is a laboratory test method that is used to measure the cross-direction crushing of a sample of corrugated board.It gives information on the ability of a particular board construction to resist crushing.
Compression test on a universal testing machine. Compression of solids has many implications in materials science, physics and structural engineering, for compression yields noticeable amounts of stress and tension. By inducing compression, mechanical properties such as compressive strength or modulus of elasticity, can be measured. [5]
One important note: Excess biotin can also "cause incorrect results in certain laboratory tests that look at thyroid levels and blood markers that can help diagnose heart attacks," says Dr. Castillo.
A compressor map is a chart which shows the performance of a turbomachinery compressor. This type of compressor is used in gas turbine engines, for supercharging reciprocating engines and for industrial processes, where it is known as a dynamic compressor. A map is created from compressor rig test results or predicted by a special computer program.
